Thread #1:
Christianity was a key driving force in the development of universities in Colonial America. The British settlers placed a high value on education, and are credited with the creation of institutions for higher education in America. Many of today's public universities were started by religious denominations.
Harvard, Yale, and Princeton were founded by Congregationalists and Puritans between 1636 - 1702. Yale was started by a clergyman and Princeton's first year of class was taught by Reverend Jonathan Dickinson. Princeton's crest still says, ‘Del sub numineviget' which is Latin for ‘Under God she flourishes' which presents a present day conundrum - "How did our oldest and most prestigious universities become so far removed from their religious and biblical heritage?"
